No root or sudo rights needed any more since Zing ZVM 19.07!

Since Zing ZVM 19.07 no sudo or root privileges are needed any more for Zing on the current versions of the supported operating systems.

The Zing System Tools (ZST), a Linux system service, is since then only required on older operating systems, for example on RHEL 7.2 and previous versions.

The Documentation on the following pages uses the installation without ZST as default:

To be more precise: To install RPM or DEB packages of Zing ZVM you still need, due to the nature of these packaging system, system administrator permissions, but now you can also install and run Zing ZVM just from the tar.gz package.
